Yes, you are allowed to use a live trap to trap nuisance wildlife or cats on your property. You can request Animal Care Services set traps for you free of charge by calling the shelter. We set Monday-Thursday and pickup traps on Friday. Residents may also purchase their own live traps and can either bring the trapped animal to the animal shelter at 330 South Esser or call ACS to pickup at the location. Residents may set traps Sunday night- Thursday and have ACS pickup trapped animals Monday-Friday. We ask residents not trap during weekends or holidays.
